I hate to do this because the song works on so many levels but B did mention one of the characters on the album was a junkie and I think I got this one. I thought it was about how fame changed him at first but....
I tied myself with wire--tying arm to shoot up
To let the horses run free--horse, another name for heroin
Playing with the fire until the fire played with me-you have to cook heroin
The stone was semi-precious--heroin is a rock
We were barely conscious--um, yeah
Two souls too smart to be in the realm of certainty--people often talk about their drug as a love affair
Even on our wedding day--first time he tried heroin
So is the moment of surrender to the drug or to God once the character's addicted?
@tylerd5, You nailed it exactly! Only a former addict would get this song the first time they heard it. I'm 30 years sober now but I knew exactly what this song was about the first time I heard it. One never forgets.
